    Rostow's Stages of Economic Growth

    • Developed by economist Walt Rostow, this model describes a linear progression through five stages of economic growth, helping to understand how countries develop.

    Stage 1: Traditional Society

    • Economies based on subsistence agriculture with limited technology.
    • Business structures are small, family-run, serving local needs with minimal growth potential and infrastructure.

    Stage 2: Preconditions for Take-off

    • Involves developing infrastructure, education, and technology, setting the stage for economic growth.
    • Entrepreneurs and investors seek opportunities as infrastructure improves, enhancing trade and industrial growth.

    Stage 3: Take-off

    • Characterized by rapid industrialization and economic growth, especially in manufacturing.
    • Increased productivity leads to labor demand, investment, and a self-sustaining economic growth model through reinvestment of profits.

    Stage 4: Drive to Maturity

    • Economy diversifies into sectors like technology, finance, and services, becoming more complex and integrated into global markets.
    • Growth in various industries supported by skilled labor, technology, and expanded domestic and international markets.

    Stage 5: Age of Mass Consumption

    • Economy focuses on consumer goods and services, with high income levels and widespread prosperity.
    • Companies shift to consumer-oriented goods and benefit from a robust domestic market, leading to significant growth in the service sector, including retail, entertainment, finance, and healthcare.

    Summary of Rostow's Model

    • Rostow’s model suggests a sequential progression through each stage, providing new opportunities and challenges for businesses, influencing their growth and operational dynamics.
